Scientists at the Max Planck Institute recreated helium hydride in the lab, revealing that it played a significant role in star formation by helping primordial gas clouds cool and collapse, with reaction rates remaining constant at low temperatures, challenging previous assumptions.
Scientists at Radboud University have developed a quantum simulator that can create synthetic molecules that closely mimic real ones, allowing them to modify molecular properties in ways typically challenging with real molecules. The simulator enables a deeper understanding of molecular reactions and has potential applications ranging from developing new materials for future computer hardware to potentially functioning as quantum computers in the future. The researchers created an artificial version of benzene, a basic organic molecule in chemistry, and the uses of this new technique are endless, including understanding chemical reactions step by step and making artificial single-molecule electronic devices.
